Mosque Carpet Buying Guide

A mosque carpet must organise worshippers through accurate prayer rows, feel comfortable for prostration, withstand intensive daily use, and reflect the dignity of the space. This guide explains how to specify mosque carpet correctly.

Prayer Rows (Saff) & Orientation

The defining feature of a mosque carpet is the saff — prayer rows that align worshippers toward the mihrab. Rows must be designed to your exact hall dimensions and orientation, with appropriate spacing. Custom saff design is essential.

Comfort & Durability

Prayer carpets endure intensive daily use and prostration. Specify a resilient, comfortable pile that resists matting and soiling, in a construction chosen for easy maintenance in high-footfall prayer halls.

Colour, Motif & Dignity

Colours and borders should complement the architecture and convey dignity. Develop custom colourways with lab-dip approval, and consider traditional motifs that suit the space.

Bulk Supply & Budget

Large prayer halls need significant quantities. Work with a direct manufacturer for competitive pricing, bulk capacity, consistent dye-lots and the ability to deliver to schedule — including for international mosque projects.
